Stillness comes from movement
Movements birth in stillness.
Silence is pregnant with sound
Sound leaves silence space less.
Fear scares the living daylights out.
But the day overcomes the darkest night.
Tears drown in the smiles
As laughter dries the tears.
Joy fills the heart with happiness
Relieving the hollow of sorrow.
And just like the seasons
Every season has a reason to be
For life is all about change.
And change is the only constant.

On power of words:
A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives,
Embedded in words in a flow…
Sometimes the words may rush
On its own without hesitation
To express away with a purpose.
But often it is a channeling…
Of creating spaces between
To pause & empathize
Before the outpouring.
It invites you to ponder…
Words have profound power
In the way they are arranged
And the thoughtful poet knows
To convey the message home.
Yet , every poet is one of a kind
And so is their poetry
Every poet balances the flow uniquely…
On empathy:
In Poets, empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion,
It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic, as to be a poem the verses need to be well emoted as much as arranged, as words manage to touch another soul in inexplicable ways.
And what happens when empathy connects with poetry?
What are your thoughts on the above?

An unrealized dream
An unexplored adventure
A challenging adversity
A twist of fortune
An unexpected detour
An unwanted influence
An undervalued feeling
A undermined self-esteem
A slew of slights
A spate of illness
A foreboding feeling
An unfinished business
An unforgivable mistake
An unfortunate moment
All may seem reason enough
But the reality is these are excuses
Remind your life happens.
Time is moving its course
Buck up and reset your path
For you know in your heart
You are enough for you.

There is a dog somewhere nearby
That is barking every once in a while
It is not the usual bark and not a yelp either
But I feel it’s something not ok
Perhaps it is loneliness
A yearning for a companion
Or a little comfort & care.
My heart aches to hear it every day
And wants to help.
But try as I might
Yet, I am unable to find the dog.
Till then ,
I hold my hand on my heart
If it is a pain of some kind
I pray that the pain goes away …
I send a healing light
To shift the energy & ease the dog.

From time to time
Make it a habit
To give yourself a gift
For wellness sake
The gift of nature
Plant a seed
Walk in nature
Hug a tree, touch a flower
Meditate in open spaces
And reduce your stress.
And uplift your mood

Are you feeling the rage
Of a war within you
Is there a fire flaming through your veins
Is your heart thumping beyond your control
Are your thoughts so muddled that you just can’t think straight?
Well my friend, trust that this too shall pass
For your anger is self made from the agony
Of living life with frustration.
All you need is to acknowledge time as your best friend
For it shows you a new way in time
From reaction to response
But do you want to be responsible
For your self harm or healing ?
For your anger is destroying you.
Think about what ways you can flip the script you are telling yourself.
For its your thoughts and feelings that fuel your emotions, time and time again.
If your heart is hurt remember to think and align your heart with your mind.
If your thoughts are the reason and that anger is bubbling up your brain, know your heart is far expansive that you know, feel from your heart the love and forgiveness that stems from it. And align your thinking mind with the emotions of unconditional loving heart .
If both your heart and brain are a fire ball of fury then too you have the wisdom of your body. Train your body to move and realign yourself to help you step out of this phase.
Remember the potential for peace rests with you always.
It’s just a matter of acknowledging it. And bringing it into practice in response than reaction.
Peace is within you
Your infinite potential always included the peace that you actually are.

Wither not yourself away
Weathering the storms
Every life finds itself
In the whirlpool of chaos.
And often unfortunately so.
Pick yourself up
Dust away the doubts
Don your best attitude
And look ahead
At a not so distant time
And trust in yourself
For storms precede the calm.
Sense the strength of spirit
Moving towards your purpose
Know every storm has one
Find yourself on your way
To fulfilling your soul purpose.
Savvy
Between & betwixt spaces
Of pause and activity
In the thinking and doing
Overcome the challenges
Of the conflicts of being.
Move on from valleys of reactions
From impulsive actions
That stems from assumptions
Reach out in responsiveness
Being positively intentional
Leading to clarity
In the deeper listening.

Hopegiving & motivational words that serve as a reminder to self.
Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.
Let not the problems that come by boggle you .
Know time has all the answers
Keep the faith.
Let not the hear and say affect you.
There is always more than what is said or heard.
So much more.
Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle
Rest & recharge yourself & keep the spirit alive.
Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.
You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.
You are much more than that.
So go ahead, aspire to transform yourself for the better
And keep moving closer to your dreams.
Taking a step in time.
And most importantly, trust in yourself
For there is always so much more
To you, for you & by you.

Creative poetry for the above image.
Born a raw stone
I am a pebble
A force of nature
Through the tumults of life
The highs & lows
Around the bend
Smoothening the spikes
Rounding the edges
Until the spirit shines through.
Savvy
Every minute is precious
Every now matters
Every moment is new
Make the most of it
Life is what you make of it.
Choose well.
And reap well in time.

Light the Candle
Of your soul
Be alive in spirit
Light the candle
In your heart
Spread the light of love .
Great to have garden
Tending to each plant
Makes us happy
And yet the world seems lonely
For we have forgotten
The power of community.
Of strength in the interconnects
Of unity in togetherness
The bends without breaking
For in tending to our own garden
We forget the paths in between
The You and I
We forget the give and take
We forget care for one another
We forget sharing the joys & woes
Of life and living
Instead we sit alone
In our self built fences & walls.
We think we are happy alone
Little realizing the effects
Of being lonely…

The vibrancy of nature
The adaptability of creation
The constancy of change
The arresting colours
Unshackling of spirit
The inter connections
Soulful vibes and sounds
Imparting wisdom profound
And not to forget
The enthralling views
Are all things I love about nature
What about you?
